Hey John,
I sent this email a couple of weeks ago to the qemu mailing list since I
didn't really know who to approach.
Hi Rohit,
The qemu-devel mailing list is very high traffic. So I'm sorry, but you
might need to be a little bit more specific with your questions if you
expect an answer...
I have built qemu from source and I have my machine setup for
git-publish via email.
I would like to start contributing with one of the bite sized tasks
mentioned in the wiki page. The one that interests me and which I
think is the easiest are the sections on "Compiler Driven Cleanup"
and "Dead Code Removal". I think this is a good way to get
introduced to the codebase.
Sure, just go ahead and have a try! Once you've successfully wrote a
patch, please have a look at
https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch how to submit it.
I plan to stay and become a long term contributor. Is there any CS
What does "CS" stand for?
theory that I would need to know other than what I mentioned above?
Is it possible to "learn on the go"?
You certainly have to "learn on the go", since it is likely quite
impossible to grasp a huge project like QEMU at once.
Cheers,
Thomas
